HOW TO CONVERT YOUR 2JZ GE TO GTE ULTIMATE BUDGET SOLUTION (ADAPTING A CAM SENSOR / HOME SIGNAL)

[@HAHAHHA97]

@@ALBERTOBIGBOOST do you have any tips about the vvti na-t conversion? I’ve currently got two N/A vvti 2j’s in my garage. Or are the swaps relatively the same?

[@drinkme.1229]

@@HAHAHHA97 VVTI GEs had weaker rods and pistons, just swap them out for GTE rods and pistons and you'll be good. There are other things to take into consideration (turbo drain/feed etc) as more people get interested in NA-T conversons there are better. Aftermarket products being developed for example, a few persons have developed adapters that would allow you to use an OEM GTE intake manifold on a GE.

[@joeseda8102]

Nice work Alberto! Appreciate your time and effort in producing these videos for us. Tip: Instead of welding, use aluminum or teflon spacer cut to proper width to keep sensor away from camshaft. Drill 2 holes and thread them to attach bung to cylinder head with bolts and a proper paper/rubber gasket. Seal around bung inside the head to prevent any oil from leaking through bung hole to outside of head.
